The Royal Mail Group raised £1.7bn of capital, and was the largest European IPO featured on the Exchange. International firms also raised a record sum of money, including Tinkoff Credit System, the largest international IPO, producing £1.8bn.

“2013 has been an exciting and positive year for the IPO market. We have seen a very healthy mix of UK and international companies using the London market as a platform for future growth,” said Xavier Rolet, CEO of the London Stock Exchange Group.

“We have been particularly pleased to see the number of tech companies using AIM, raising over £350m in the process. This is confirmation that high-growth companies, as well as their backers in the private equity and VC [venture capital] communities, are recognising the exceptional power of equity in driving growth,”he added.
